“KHDA should not allow schools that are downgraded or rated unsatisfactory to hike fees.”

Almost all Indian schools in Dubai announced a fee hikes ranging from three to nine per cent in the middle of the year, with retrospective effect.

“[We received] one simple SMS from the school [to say that] tuition and transport fees have been revised with permission from the KHDA,” said Naman B., whose two children study at Delhi Private School.

“If [a parent has] already paid for this term, the difference will be made up in the next term fee. I am sure it’s going to hurt many parents’ plans.”

The KHDA says Indian schools were allowed to implement the fee hike retrospectively because their academic year starts early, after the framework was announced.

“The School Fees Framework was released on April 8, 2012 by the Executive Council and all private schools (including Indian curriculum schools) were required to implement it from the academic year 2012-13,” Darwish said.

“Since Indian curriculum schools had already begun their academic year a week prior to the announcement of the framework, Indian schools applied the fee retrospectively.”

It’s not the way the framework has been implemented that irks the parents, it’s the system of inspection that is attached to the fee hike, which many say is not based on reality.

‘Good is bad’

“I always wonder how KHDA decides the quality of the school as when they go for inspection, schools change everything from attitude towards children to general atmosphere in the premises,” said one parent, who asked to remain anonymous.

“Suddenly the teachers become so polite, the school becomes clean, intelligent students are taught what they have to say in front of the inspectors and so on.

“Some parents are also called in to be at the school and they know too what they have to say.

“If schools earn their good ratings based on such a show then this good is bad for parents as these ratings are used to hike fees.”

The parent claimed to have written several times to the KHDA without response.

Schools argue that fee increases do not match the rising cost of providing education.

“We can make fees more affordable for parents if government gives land to schools to have their own buildings,” said Guruswami Kalloor, CEO of JSS International School, which increased fees by 3 per cent and was rated ‘acceptable’.

A spokesperson from GEMS, which manages several schools including Dubai Modern, said: “The ability to increase fees is linked to inspection outcomes as per KHDA’s policy.

“Dubai Modern High School achieved an ‘outstanding’ rating meaning it could increase fees by 6 per cent.

“The fees will go towards the continual improvement in teaching and learning, infrastructure and salaries so that Modern’s outstanding students continue to receive the very best education.”

I DONT KNOW WHY BASIC THINGS JUST LIKE EDUCATION, MEDICAL & RENTS ARE SO HIGH. IF THESE THINGS WILL REMAIN IN THE SUITABLE LIMITS MAYBE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHOSE EARNINGS BETWEEN DH6,000 TO 8,000 PER MONTH ALSO WILL TAKE THEIR FAMIILY HERE. DUE TO THIS REASON ECONOMY WILL INCRESE. PLEASE REVIEW RATES OF BASIC THINGS

There has been an increase of fees enormously. More people are unemployed and the fees are increasing enormously. KHDA should not permit schools to increase the fees ...
I sincerely hope that KHDA takes this into consideration and works on it and listens the advice of parents and work accordingly for the welfare of the parents as well as students.

Its a very sad state for teachers and students alike when the inspections are in progress. I can assure 100% that no teaching and learning takes place during this time. There is no job satisfaction at any time of the year as all the teachers are busy doing things that have been newly introduced and find no base in the school curriculum. I am a teacher myself at one of the Indian schools that has got the OUTSTANDING rating,

My daughter's teacher was changed twice during 2011-2012 acedmic year. During the parent-teacher meeting the teacher was not able to judge the performance of the child as she had recently joined the school. God knows how will she set the final exam papers since she didn't even have an idea of the portion being taught by the previous teacher before she left. Is KHDA asking parents for their feedback or just listening to the schools? Education and Medical professions are the best to make more and more money.

KHDA must pay surprise visits to schools, talk with teachers, students and parents to get a feel of what is truly happening. Many a time, even teachers are treated differently with regards to pay scale. Nowadays anybody can teach is the policy of some schools, regardless of qualification or ability. Parents are asked to pay for the hike in fees, but has the standard improved? Are more facilities provided? How does it match up?

We parents are to give good comment about the school at the time of their inspection. By giving good reports we are putting ourselves in an expected increase in the payment of fees.
Fee increase are kind of acceptable, but why bus charges are increased? This is really money making business. There is no justification on such increase. If the authorities find some schools doing good give some discounts on services or such things through which let the school benefit. Not by penalising parents. Hope someone who is responsible will go through this issue.

My ward goes to a school which got an outstanding rating but are charging very small fees as compared to what facilties they provide/as compared to other schools.
However, the disturbing trend that I saw was a lot of 'good teachers'/supervisors have just been quitting in droves since I understand the pay structure is not attractive. I am told the school management cannot revise the teacher's pay as the school fees are quite low. I am ready to pay a little revision in fees but they should offer competetive package to teachers so that they CAN SUSTAIN the ratings and ensure that they can retain good talent.
Sometimes a little revision in fees is necessary so that the service standards are maintained.

Khda is trying to improve the standard, but the problem is the example of common students when exams are arriving they rush everywhere where they find some thing they get it. When the KHDA inspection week is informed extra activities are started, all head's are roaming in corridor, running from one corner to other, pressure on teachers, more pratical work. this shows that school is doing this only for their rating and making fools of students.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IS SURPRISE VISIT DURING PEAK HOURS OF SCHOOL.

It is 100% true. It should be surprise visit in order to bring the appropriate rating. Incressing school fee becomes a burden and most of our earnings go to school fees.

The comments above need to be taken into account. I have known of multiple occasions when non-teaching assistant staff from one school of a big group was brought over to another school for the duration of the preparation and inspection. As soon as the inspection was done, staff was moved to another school which was due for inspection.
The students and teachers are put through extreme pressure.
And all this just so some can continue earning more and more.
Are the students given any benefit of the fee hike? No
Are the teachers given any benefit of the fee hike? No
Are the parents seeing any additional returns by paying higher fees? No
Why are fee hikes based on inspections which occur after a long notice? Why not make sudden inspections to find out what really goes on? Why not base fee hikes on what facilities the students and teachers are actually given? How well equipped are the laboratory/library, how well are the students provided extra-curricular, real life experiences, how well are the teachers supported by non teaching staff?
Instead, parents have to pay higher fees, and also keep paying additionally for various events like the clean-up UAE drive (yes, parents had to pay to allow participation of children, and those who did not pay, the children were made to sit back in classes while their colleagues went out and picked up rubble)...
The list of parents' complaints is endless, but nothing seems to bother the pursuit of higher profits.

I DONT UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF REWARDING THE SCHOOLS WITH FEES HIKES IF THEY ACHIEVE A HIGHER RATING. YES, I WOULD UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC IF SCHOOLS WERE EVALUATED FOR BEING COST EFFECTIVE AND REWARDED FOR BEING INNOVATIVE IN ADOPTING POLICIES AND METHODS CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS REDUCING THE COST OF EDUCATION, AT THE SAME TIME ENHANCING THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION. HOW COST EFFECTIVE THE SCHOOL IS SHOULD BE A MAJOR CRITEIRA FOR THE SCHOOL RATING. INSTEAD OF LIMITING THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF RAMPANT COMMERCIALIZATION AND UNHEATLY COMPETITION, THESE INSPECTIONS IN THE PRESENT FORM WILL ENCOURAGE MORE COMMERCIALIZATION OF EDUCATION.
OUR DEAR FREINDS AT THE KHDA JUST ADD THE FOLLOWING TWO COMPONENTS IN YOUR EVALUATION AND YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE TO MORE WHOLESOME EDUCATION IN THE REGION.
1. COMPLAINTS: ALL COMPLAINTS MADE TO SCHOOLS EITHER BY PARENTS/STUDENTS/TEACHERS SHOULD BE MADE WITH A COPY TO THE KHDA. THE KHADA HAS TO ISSUE A COMPLAINT NUMBER. IF THE COMPLAINT IS NOT RESOLVED WITH RESONABLE TIME FRAME BY THE SCHOOL THEN THE COMPLAINANT CAN APPROACH THE KHDA WITH THE COMPLAINT NUMBER TO SEEK A RESOLUTION.
2. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: ALL EDUCATION INSTITUES SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PUBLISH THEIR YEARLY AUDITED FIANANCIAL STATEMENTS.
I think NON PROFIT schools should be given preference and support in all possible ways because if things keep moving in the same direction, pretty soon educating a child is not going to be a pleasant experience at all. The way forward is NON PROFIT schools be it public, private, local or international, encourage and support them all!

As a parent I definitely agree with the teachers. Before the inspections the principal of the school called me 2-3 times as I was one of the parents chosen to meet the KHDA inspectors. After the inspections, it is next to impossible to speak to the Principal as she is always 'busy'.
I am glad that people are speaking up, just hope somebody from KHDA listens!

My son's school increased fee by 9% without informing reasons why. I do not see KHDA approval playing any role in this. It was also increased last year with same ratio and school informed me that they got approval to do so. Last year as of my understanding was not approved for fee hike across all schools in Dubai, but they got away with it.

This is so true, KHDA visits just bring about change for a week and after that everything goes back to normal i.e the actual situation which the KHDA should see and judge the schools on. Being a teacher I know how the schools make the weeks before the KHDA inspection week, a nightmare for us, late sittings, changes in the planners, demo lessons, changing bulletin boards, in other words just pressure of unnecessary work to get those ranks, which I am sure the KHDA would never give if the visit was a surprise.
If the KHDA actually wants to bring a change in the education system in Dubai then they definitely need to change the way they evaluate.

This is so true. Definitely KHDA should make surprise visits. The kids are trained on what to say, etc. Also, have noticed when the inspection is going on, the kids are not allowed to come out of the school as usual after school. Parents have to park and meet them at the gates. The teachers in charge are so rude, they have no respect for the parents either and speak to them as they speak to their students. I've heard one teacher say to a kid, doesnt your mother know how to park her car? Ridiculous attitude of teachers. My child's 10th Grade teacher has actually said - I dont care if you study or not, I just want to finish my portions. Other teachers have stopped teaching and walked out because some kids were talking in class which left the other kids to complete a lesson on their own. although I have written all these incidents to the KHDA, the school has been given a rating of Good and allowed to increase the fee this year!!

I have done my education here and have personally experienced how a school & a classroom transforms magically when a KHDA inspection is about to be made. All the weaker children will be taken out from the classes & the smarter ones line up in the front seats.
The respected authorities have to understand that education has already become an expensive affair and our salaries do not increase along with the immediate increases in school fees.

This is so unfair. Authorities allow the hike to allow schools to cover their costs (that is what they say), but what about the parents who work so hard to manage the fees for their children? We cannot keep increasing the fees in this way.
Education should be affordable so that all parents are encouraged to educate their children in the best of schools to get the best of education as they are the future of any country.

The KHDA inspections are announced and the entire school from the gate keeper/nanny to the principal are given instructions on how to behave and what to do. Copies of lesson plans are made, rules are established, etc. all for duration of the inspectors visit. If the aim of the inspections is to improve the schools for one week a year, then it's working!
Being a teacher myself, and having a network of friends/family who are in the same profession, I can say that this is true for a number of institutions in Dubai.
